Hey David! As long as you don't go over the 3,000 lb capacity I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-HD. The RAS is nice because it won't have a negative impact on your unloaded ride quality. It can also be adjusted if need be.

If you think you'll be over 3,000 lbs the Timbren SES # TGMRCK25D is a better choice. However, these have a tendency to give you a harsh ride when you aren't towing or hauling. If you need the higher capacity and want to maintain ride quality the best choice would be the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-203-47-2.

Any big plans with your 5th wheel this fall?
